Sourdough Starter

I bake bread, have done for some years now. I’ve got flour but don’t have yeast. I also refuse to pay the current price of yeast on eBay, twenty times usual retail price at times.

So?

So, I’m making my own sourdough starter. This arrived yesterday in a small Tupperware pot, around 75g of it. It needed ‘refreshing’ immediately and again 24 hours later. It’s now around 450g, bubbling away nicely and I should be able to use it to do a Sourdough Loaf on Saturday and from now on, keep the ‘starter’ in the fridge constantly refreshing it as and when.

My Hubby and a couple of others in the community are doing this starter. It looks like we have a biology experiment. I call it his pet because he has to feed and water every so often. It seems to be quite a fascinating science. His sour dough starter has be great for country loaf, pita in my photo today, focaccia, bagels, and pizza. Have fun.
